I feel kinda bad for the guy. It's hard to tell the actual severity right before the draft (ie. paralyzed for life turns into minor toe surgery.) I hope he still goes well, as it might not hinder him, however, I'm glad my team doesn't need to spend more money at the DE position. He could turn into a 2nd round bargain.

The thing about Groves' heart condition is that no matter what he does it won't affect it, he has a .03% of sudden cardiac death but playing football does not increase the chance

well it said it wasnt serious, but if im about to make a multi-year, multi-million dollar investment in a guy and i hear his name and heart surgery together like that....would make me think about it a little harder in the very least

This is a total aside but it really sucks how that works. The guy was probably worried about his life at one point and after making it through, he finds out he is now looked at as damaged goods and potentially missing out on an opportunity to live his dream. So much for triumph.

I honestly don't know how this affects him. I'm glad that he is healthy, don't get me wrong, but I'm no doctor, so I will stay away from the medical aspect of it. Some teams may not consider this too heavily, but if soem teams removed Kelly due to knee problems, I'm sure the same is being done with Groves. It's a shame I like this guy, and deserves to go higher than he probalby will now, though there is no doubt in my mind that he will still amke a great NFL player.

I think the idea behind having two young OLB/DEs, is that they develop into better players. And with Roethlisberger will be out of the league within 3 years if the Steelers don't do something drastic with that O Line.
